“Once his application was approved by DHS, the National Visa Center would have sent the petition to the relevant U.S. Embassy or Consulate – Islamabad in Malik’s case.”

So the US Embassy in Islamabad did not even check her address. Sounds like a thorough vetting to me. /s

One more comment:

Terrorist activities usually end in the terrorist’s death, so if she hasn’t suicide bombed herself in the past, she is in.

Reminds me of Rutger Hauer in “Nighthawks”:

Heymar ‘Wulfgar’ Reinhardt: You know, I never asked you what you do for a living.
Pam: Well... besides dancing a lot, I fly Pan Am from coast to coast. I’m Pam, flying ace. That’s actually a slight airline joke. I don’t really fly the planes. I’m just a stewardess. I flying waitress as they call it. How about you?
Heymar ‘Wulfgar’ Reinhardt: Me?
Pam: Yes. What do you do for a living?
Heymar ‘Wulfgar’ Reinhardt: [sarcastic tone] I’m an international terrorist wanted by the police in half the countries in Europe. And I am currently laying low for the moment.
Pam: Oh, sure!

These questions rank right up there with parents who ask their children “do you want me to spank you?” Seriously, what do the parents expect the child is going to answer? Dumbest parent question ever. This form equates to that. What answers do they expect they’re going to get? “Yes, I’m a terrorist and plan to come to your country to blow stuff up, please let me in anyway.”?????

Such questions aren’t for screening someone _out_, they’re for piling on criminal charges if arrested on a related charge. Should she have survived*, “lying on an immigration form” would have been one more reason to incarcerate her, even if a creative lawyer got her off the other charges.

(* - she wasn’t immediately killed in the shootout. I heard “there’s one in the back seat, still breathing” on police radio, apparently referring to her. Could have been a chance of survival & prosecution.)

Nope. The old Robin Williams "Good Morning Vietnam" bit.

This is what you call “fully vetting” an immigrant.

[[Lie detectors tend to produce more false positives than negatives so the worst that could happen is someone who isn’t a citizen could be excluded which isn’t a real problem in my book.]]

For those we suspect of false positive results, we could waterboard them until we’re satisfied they are telling the truth or lying

If that fails- we could make them sit through an hour of Rosie O’Donnel rants or something

[[The only people we should want are those we are sure won’t be a cost to us whether through terrorism or tax payer burden.]]

We supposedly put them immediately on SS and Medicare for l ife-

I gather addresses, as we know them here, can be rather problematic in other countries. GPS was a boon to those areas, making it easy to literally give your “address” as latitude/longitude. When visiting Seoul once, I seriously wondered how they managed to apply an address to where I stayed.

My foreign-born wife left her apartment about a week before emmigrating here, so for her final visa interview she didn’t actually have an address (had stayed in, and checked out of, a couple hotels) to give. As soon as she got the paperwork finalized she immediately headed to the border.

Vetting an immigrant: "You're not a terrorist, are you?"

Fully vetting an immigrant: "Are you a terrorist?"

Lol! The one time in his adult life that he tells the truth, and no one believes him.

Yes, actually, I do plan to conduct terrorist activities within the United States

I'd almost expect the Government drone to have stamped 'Approved' anyways.

Our “leaders” and their brain-dead federal “worker” minions are really, really malignant (and stupid).

Page three of DS-160 US visa application form:

Our government is so stupid to believe that this is proper immigration vetting.

The DS-160 visa application form should be sent to all 535 Senators and Congressmen.

This is what is so frustrating .. these liberal idiots who design these forms just automatically assume the terrorists will answer them truthfully. All the while, their Koran .. says “it’s okay to lie”. Hmmmmm ..??

Just who are the stupid people anyway ..??

The ones who designed the tests ..?? Or the ones who agreed to use them to investigate suspected terror sympathizers??

You guys can sniff derisively all you like. What you fail to realize is that in bold letters at the bottom of the form is an acknowledgement which MUST be initialed by the applicant cautioning that reporting false information may be punished by federal imprisonment or fines. Or both!!!
